    Congratulations! I've always been partial to my son's name, Ian Michael.

    Push hard for Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. (Isaiah 8:1-3)

    Eventually "settle" for the name you really like ...

    I chose Disney names.

    My daughters are Ariel and Jasmine, and my son is prince Eric. Although Ariel is a Bible name for a boy we try to ignore that.

    What McMurdo said. Handed down old family names, no matter what they are, confer a solidity that leave passing enthusiasms and fads behind.

    BTW I had an ancestor named Meshack. His twin brother was Shadrack. But that was in the 18th century when Biblical names were more popular.
